Be truthful. Nature only sides with truth.

The house has to please everyone, contrary to the work of art which does not. The work is a private matter for the artist. The house is not.
Adolf LoosRead
Does it follow that the house has nothing in common with art and is architecture not to be included in the arts? Only a very small part of architecture belongs to art: the tomb and the monument. Everything else that fulfils a function is to be excluded from the domain of art.
Adolf LoosRead
Architecture arouses sentiments in man. The architect's task therefore, is to make those sentiments more precise.
